It’s clear that different kitchens carry different products associated with the style and influence of their menus. In fact, kitchens have access to 1000’s of products from a large selection of food suppliers and this range of products is always increasing.
However, most kitchens have a core number of products that are common place, these form a very important part in the overall profitability of a food business. I call these the “drivers” If we are influence the cost price of these “drivers” then we can make a real effect on driving margins forward. Targeting a selected group of products and monitoring any prices changes can be very effective.
Each week we carry out a cost price analysis on behalf of several food retailers. It takes the shape of creating a shopping basket of products from the existing price file and asking another food supplier (who are not currently suppling the kitchen) to quote for the business bases on the selection of products I have supplied. This is a blind test as I don’t supply the original cost prices.
This is also a great way of keeping suppliers active in ensuring these best prices are always on point.
The pie-chart below is a picture of a sample food business. It shows the consumption by department of all food categories. This is a great information tool, as it highlights where consumption has increased or decreased during a particular period. By comparing the consumption each month, we can quickly find associated problems and fix them.
